Is there a possibility to setup the pager to allow scrolling line-by-line via the up/down keys?

It already does

Yes, but you have to move the cursor over the screen before scrolling backwards, after scrolling forwards.

You can try the following. Make your own script, call it for example myvimmanpager and set your MANPAGER variable to this script. Next, add the second-last line to the original script /usr/bin/vimmanpager, to make it read like this (myvimmanpager):

There could be a way of doing this in vimrc, but apparently the filetype is not being set when vimrc is run so I am unable to selectively run the map command on only man files._________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/

That is vim's behaviour by default. Even in vim you can always use C-e and C-y to scroll the screen. Make your remapping if you like other key strokes._________________ppc:PowerBook5,8 15"(1440)-G4/1.67,2G Ram|amd64:HP EliteBook 8560w,i7-2620M,16G Ram|amd64:Acer Z5610 (Core2QuadQ8200),8G Ram|amd64-prefix:OpenSuse
